ith the parking brake released, the vehicle
then moves off.
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that the
engine be allowed to run for a few minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the engine and
gearbox.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically and immediately.
However, in mode N , mode P will be engaged
after a duration of 5 seconds (allowing for the
process of putting the vehicle to free-wheeling).
Check that mode P has been engaged and that
the electric parking brake has been applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
Gearbox operating fault
The corresponding indicator lamps in
the selector and the electric parking
brake control lever must be on, as well
as those in the instrument panel.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
This is signalled by the illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by the display of a message and an
audible signal, when the ignition is
switched on.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100

km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode
D is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no
longer available. You may feel a pronounced
jolt when engaging reverse. This does not
present any risk for the gearbox.

Speed limit at cer tain times
Example: 19 mph (30
km/h) (for example)
with a "clock" symbol The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic
conditions.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.

the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by

The driver's seat belt must be fastened
and remain in place for the entire
manoeuvre.Full Park Assist is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The manoeuvre remains the responsibility
of the driver.
Full Park Assist is not always able to react
automatically and appropriately due to the
performance limits of the sensors used.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop the
vehicle when necessary to ensure the
safety of their immediate environment
(particularly where there are pedestrians).
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle. They must always check
the area surrounding the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre.
Throughout the entire manoeuvre, the
driver must ensure the parking space
remains free of obstruction. They must
remain in the driving seat and must never
try to lock the function control button.
The driver can interrupt the manoeuvre
at any time by pressing the brake pedal,
by retaking control of the steering or by
releasing the function control button.
The driver must hold the function control
button, located on the gear selector, down for
the whole duration of the automatic manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built in the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
The Full Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following manoeuvres:
-
p

arking when entering and exiting a
"parallel" parking space.
-

p
arking when entering a "bay" parking
space.

It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object or
person might hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
The driver must check the sides of the
vehicle, using the mirrors.
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the
brake lamps may come on. The manoeuvre can be interrupted temporarily
at any time, either automatically by the system
if an obstacle is detected, or by driver action.
If the driver sees a hazard risk, they can also
permanently interrupt the manoeuvre.
To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:
-

r
elease the function control button,
-

p
ress the brake pedal,
-

r

Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 62 litres
(Petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Reser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fluid level is reached in
the tank, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres,
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section. If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
